Applied while hands are still slightly wet from washing, the cream traps the water sitting in the skin, and that trapped water is what keeps hands flexible rather than tight. A pea-sized amount is enough if you concentrate it on the backs of the hands, the knuckles and the nail edges, which dry out far faster than palms do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is this different from a standard hand cream or a bottle of sanitiser?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A standard hand cream moisturises and stops there, and an alcohol gel disinfects while taking the skin's own oils with it. The BettyHula Anti-bacterial Hand Cream uses silver citrate inside a shea butter and coconut oil base, so one tube covers freshness between washes and the dryness those washes cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does an antibacterial hand cream replace washing my hands?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No, and nothing does. Soap and water physically remove dirt and germs from the skin, which is a mechanical job no cream performs.

The places that dry out fastest are the ones most often missed, so take it over the knuckles, into the webbing between the fingers, around every cuticle and onto the wrists, where sleeves and cuffs create constant friction. Skipping those spots is why hands still feel tight after using a hand cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does this compare with carrying a hand cream and a sanitiser separately?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Two products work against each other, since the gel removes the oils the cream just delivered.
